WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY IL.
A DYNAM1rER-There was sensational

A DYNAMITER- was sensa.lonn
incident at the anti coercion meeting IN
Chicago Monday night. A few minutes
before nine o'clock man was seen pushing
his way toward the platform. He was
busily engaged in distributing flaming red
circular. Word went round that the man
was an intruder, and one of the committee
of arrangements was sent TO know DIS p'is
mess there, and how he came to be disturb
ing the meeting. One glance at the circu-
lar settled it, and the pedlar OF req paper
was incontinently hustled toward the hooi
He resisted, and fought with the tenacity
and courage of bulldog. Two OF thlee
stalwart policemen were called 10 the scene,
and the intruder was dragged outside OF the
building His pockets were literally stuffed
with circulars, and, as the officers shook
him into submission, q shower OF red hand-
bills fell from every fold IN his clothes.
These circulars read as follows
''By Irishmen Ireland will be Free"
mo home rule"
"Total separation; nothing else"
Dynamite, the indigestible pill for John
Bull"
Omitted revolutions, G. r."
No one knew what the last three letters
represented, and the dynamitard was asked
to explain. He would not offer an explana'
ton, and the patrol took him to the Armory.
To reporter he said his name was VIM. h.
Fitzpatrick, and that he was painter By
trade.
"Yes, I'm dynamiter," said he, "and
I've been Fenian all my life. believe in
dynamite as the only power for Ireland"

Climate Influence on Cheese.

While quality is conferred upon cheese
by care and skill in making, and by its
contents Of fat, there are some other
causes for the variation in quality. Soil
and climate have something to do with
quality, for they control, to some extent,
the character of the heritage, and un-
doubtedly food has much to do with the
flavor Of its products. The flesh of ami
mails acquires certain qualities from the
feed. Southdown mutton, fed upon the
rich herbage of the downs" or hilly
seaside pastures on the chalk districts of
Southern England, and the tender, high
favored meat Of the Welc1 mountain
sheep, are examples OF this fact.
Tho hams Of Westphalia, fed
upon the mast of the forests, also
have most agreeable favor. The wines
of some vineyards surpass those OF all
Others in richness of flavor, and the
hops of certain localities surpass all 9TH
ers in desirable qualities. Consistently
with these analogous facts, it cannot be
doubted that the pasture, which is
affected by soil and climate, has some
effect upon the character of dairy
products. But the expert and expert
enced dairyman may make up for all de-
fects in these respects by good culture,
fertilizing, and the growth Of such crops
as will afford every necessary element in
the food for the production of good
milk, and by such skill in the manipula-
tion as will produce the very best quail
ity in the butter and cheese made from
it.-AmerieaR AgrieultriS.

FeedIng Buttermilk 70 Plrs,

Buttermilk is a highly nitrogenous
food, containing, as it does, about one
part nitrogen and two parts carbon, the
proportion of nitrogen being twice as
much as necessary for profitable feeding,
that is, to feed it without waste. Corn
meal, on the other hand, is highly car
bonaceous, containing eight to nine
parts carbon to one part nitrogen. It
is at least twice as carbonaeeous as it
should be for feeding growing pigs, Just
as buttermilk is too nitrogenous.
Now due admixture of these two
feeds will properly balance the ration
and secure the greatest economy both in
preventing waste and providing the
greatest amount Of fnutriment. In feeding
pigs at the Wisconsin agricultural ex-
perimental station the rule has been to
allow one pound Of corn meal to every
gallon Of buttermilk. This serves the
ration still strong in the nitrogenous
element necessary to promote growth.
As the pigs advance in size and fat is
more desirable than growth, more corn
meal is added. This makes the food

70 lay on more fat.
In some experiments made at the
Massachusetts, agricultural experimental
station--counting corn meal at $2s per
ton aud buttermilk at 10 cents per 100
pounds-it was found that q pound Of
pork, fed at first on a slop made Of 10
ounces Of corn meal for every gallon Of
butternilk, cost but 40 cents; but that
after gradually increasing the corn meal
until it reached within fraction Of two
pounds Of the meal to each gallon Of the
buttermilk, the cost Of making a pound
Of pork amounted TO 5.73 cents. This
latter was in the coolest part Of the win
ter, and it was thought that the differ.
ence in temperature (requiring, as It did,
q more carbonaceous food) accounted in
IN a great measure for the difference In
the cost Of the pork. .--Bsl,imore Sun.

Boisterous Little King.

The baby king Of Spain, having
reached the mature age Of II months was
on hand at the opening Of the Cortes. His
royal legs being yet two weak TO support
him with the dignity becoming q mon
arch, be sat on his mothers knee during
the drive from the palace, aud on enter.
ing the Cortes was handed over to a
buxom and gorgeously attired Astrurian
nurse. His majesty resented the change
by grabbing at his nurses hair and her
gold and silver bangles. They managed
TO pacify him, however, and he allowed
himself to be taken into the senate house
without a protest Here there was q
mighty gathering Of princes, graudees,
ambassadors aud legislators, many su-
perbly apparelIed and blazing with dec
orations aud jewels. His maj sty did
rot seem to like the look of things. and
commenced to whimper. The queen,
looking regal indeed in black velvet
rJbes and diamond coronet, had him
placed in the nurses arms alopg.ide Of
her on the throne dais. He stopped
whimpering for q while, and kept his
big eyes fixed on his royal mothers cor
onet, but when the queen commenced to
read her speech in dignified and meas
ured tone to the grand assembly, King
Alfonso XIII, possibly thinking he was
being scoldcd, protested audibly. The
gorgeous nurse strove to pacify him and
succeeded for a moment. When. how.
ever, reference was made to Spain's cor
dial relations with other powers, his
majesty sobbed loudly, and the sobbing
developed into a howl as his mother
spoke of her friendly feelings to the
sultan OF Morocco. Happily at this crit
ical moment King Alfonzo's eye was
caught by the gIittering decorations on
the breast of old Marshal Conchs, upon
which he gazed in silent ecstasy until
the ceremony had concluded. Then
when the queen got into her carriage and
clear Of ali the g and people, she hugged
the baby and said he had been good
boy, just as any other mother would
have done.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Keeping Fruit.

The great secret for preventing decay
in fruit through autumn and winter is to
preserve uniformly low temperature.
If changing and fuctuating, they
quickly rot. Currents of air are bad,
because they make changes in temper
ature, We find that apples keep longer
in winter by merely wrapping each
specimen in tissue paper and thus ex-
cluding air. Hence the advantage Of
packing in any soft, powdered
substance as dry sawdust,
bran, ground plaster, or bedding
in moss, On large scale this cannot
be done and large fruit rooms must
therefore be kept cool without changes Of
air. Much may be accomplished by
ventilating windows admitting cold air
in the night, and excluding warm air in
the daytime by closing them. These
remarks apply more particularly to ap-
pies and pears, and also to grapes.
They would also apply to small and
perishable fruits, if it were an object to
keep them, but the common practice is
to consume them while fresh. Country

The most inhuman punishment of q
child by its parents ever brought to light
in this country, was in the case of small
colored boy Of Boston, Mass, who was
examined by the municipal court of that
city. The boy was punished for going
skating without permission, by being
placed with his bare feet upon a hot
stove until his soles were blistered. The
father confessed the atrocious deed, but
said that he was compelled to do some
thing to keep the child at home.
